Show Me Your Racing Machines

[Marlin]

Haha, thanks mate, knew you'd be stoked! Now I gotta work out how to get it up from Melbourne. (cheaply) lol

I decided on one because it's elligable for classic tarmac as well as gravel rallying. Whether it actually sees gravel yet I'm not sure, but at least the option is there with the addition of some Proflex and armour

It should be a bit of fun throwing it around Lakeside/Morgan Park and some hillclimbs too. Can you tell I'm excited? haha

Nice buy mate

A place opposite our other office is a car transport company. I can get their number if you want?

[sav man]

i wondered if you got that one off my 105. Will we see you down here for tarmac events? Got Timbo te'd up to nav

Hey Brisby,

Do you have the same graph using rpm on the x-axis instead of speed?

Nope. I have a spreadsheet looking at tyre diam and gearing to calculate rpm from my km/h dyno plot....but can't correlate that to the graphs by Bass Junky and Abo Bob.

[Ant97GTR]

yeah thats the issue, mine was part of the black 32/33/34 story.

was a bit of a last minute thing and my car was meant to be at the bodyworks to fix a flaking front bumper as well as the new N1's that needed to be fitted... we just used school book covering contact to hide the missing paint!

the 33 and 34 in the article were both owned by a mate of mine and he wasn't even in the country at the time!

I do believe that black 33 is now sitting in my garage

Ben, I think they may only do transport within Vic and NSW, but they may be worth a call?

MTS - 03 9091 6666

Mark or Catherine is the contact.

We are going to be getting a car shipped to QLD soon, so we're currently looking for a good transporter. I'll keep you posted.

Ant97GTR - A very nice car that 33, well cared for... the previous owner still has the 34, last he told me it had just clicked over 15,xxxks since new!

33 had a gearbox syncro issue when I drove it. i think sortly after it sold it copped a engine rebuild?

Marlin - Well done mate. That the one Jim put together?

[Marlin]

Yes it is. It's very basic really, and I didn't pay too much either

Mega-dollar seats though

Glad to hear it...when I had it checked over it was extremely clean. No idea about the syncro issue....as far as I know they haven't been replaced and seem fine to me except for a few high rpm changes from 4th to 5th at the track....although thats probably a combo of worn clutch and driver skill

Yep previous owner gave the keys to a mate ho drove it not noticing the lack of oil pressure ...turns out there was no pressure for a reason and the motor welded itself together....no rebuild though....instead a fresh R34 motor with 15,000 km on it.

Current incarnation:

Marlin - Nice, I got him a turbo for it, dirty ol' ceramic job!

Ant97GTR - I recall 3-4 and 4-5, not huge revs though. Looks very cool now, the old Volks needed to be painted a darker color I always thought.

Oh ok cool Ceramic..... and most importantly, Legal!

[t01-100]

matt black paint can make any part legal!

[Duncan]

/almost manages not to burst out laughing

[ZENNON]

what if the part isn't there anymore!?

[Duncan]

same answer....spray black paint where it used to be :|

[Marlin]

hahahaha...... So, judging by this, I'll have no problem painting a Gen III black and slotting it in?

How do I paint exhaust sound black?

[ZENNON]

duncan i like your thinking!
